Video Transcript for Husky Fifth Wheel HT34914 Review

Today we're going to review part number HT34914. This is the Husky lube plate for fifth wheel trailer hitches in a 10 inch diameter. Now this lube plate will help prevent scratches on your fifth wheel hitch's skid plate. It allows your trailer's kingpin to slide into the hitch very easily. There's no need for any messy grease. This will give you the lubrication and protection between your pin box and your fifth wheel hitch head.

It installs very easily, you just slip this over the kingpin on your pin box. It is constructed of a durable nylon material. Just to give you an idea, here's an example of what a kingpin would look like on your pin box. What would you would do is just slide this up over the kingpin and then when this drops down into the fifth wheel hitch head and locks into place, this lube plate will give you protection between your pin box. It'll actually give you lubrication and protection between your pin box and your fifth wheel hitch head. The specs on this, the diameter, overall diameter edge to edge going to be right at 10 inches, and the thickness of the plate is going to be right at 3/16 of an inch.

That should do it for the review on part number HT34914. This is the Husky lube plate for the fifth wheel trailer hitch in a 10 inch diameter. .

Looks great so far. I am not sure how often these need replacing? Last one lasted me 10 years. So hopefully this one will serve me well

Lube free nylon/Teflon for 5th wheel pin box. Easy to install, but a tight fit, so I used a rubber mallet and larger pipe to persuade it gently into place. No grease gets on you anymore.
Nice thing about e trailer is that all of the parts I have ever needed were in stock and described so even I could figure it out!! Quick delivery and good follow up.
Thanks

The product I received (20K companion) was perfect!! It was well packaged and the directions we're easy. I called on Sunday in a panic (since I was traveling 700 miles on the following Thursday) and Karen C. Did a great job assuming me it would be delivered on Wednesday. And as promised it did!! I have purchased several items from etrailer and it has always been a great experience!! Thanks again Karen!!

It saves you from getting grease all over everything. It is quite, no metal to metal contact.

I took a look at the installation instructions for the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # BWRVK3500-5W.
Per the instructions in the Helpful Tips section, they do list the areas of the hitch that need to be lubricated to assure good performance. I have attached a copy of the Helpful Tips section you can check out.
Per the instructions the top surface of the coupler and the jaws should be lubricated with automotive type chassis grease. You can use a grease like part # L11350...view full answer...

For your 2016 Chevrolet 2500 HD with 6-1/2 Foot Bed, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Outboard Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP56001-53. These custom rails and brackets are a confirmed fit for your truck and are compatible with the Husky Slider. They are far easier to install with the outboard brackets. Only Reese offers this option. All of the hardware is included with this kit.
For your slider hitch, I recommend the Husky Silver Series...view full answer...

The instructions for HiJacker 5th wheel trailer hitch # DM8550034, linked for reference, read "It is recommended to use grease or a 3/16” maximum Teflon disc to help prevent wear on top plate
surface."
Curt lube plate # 16721 is 3/16 inches thick so it could be used. You could also use # HT34914 from Husky.view full answer...

For your B&W hitch, the lube plate will help reduce wear and make sure you don't end up with a greasy mess. Because your king pin lock won't fit on with your lube plate, you can remove it and reinstall for each use or you can get a different lock or lube plate. The locks and lube plates come in different thicknesses, so you determine the best option for your desires.

For your Demco Hijacker SL Series Flat Deck 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM6076SL-FLAT you can use any diameter of lube plate, 10-inch, 11-1/2-inch or 12-inch, so long as the thickness of the plate does not exceed 3/16-inch.
Good options include the Curt 12-inch # C16722 or the 10-inch Husky # HT34914.

Because the head on your Demco HiJacker # DM8550034 rotates with the pin box a lube plate isn't critical like it is on a standard 5th wheel trailer hitch. So if you wanted you could just use a little grease, # L11390. If you would rather use a lube plate then the hitch instructions state a maximum thickness of 3/16 of an inch (but don't specify a diameter). I recommend going with the Husky plate # HT34914 since it is 3/16 inches thick and the 10 inch diameter is more likely to fit without...view full answer...

Some noise from metal to metal contact is normal. However, it shouldn't be excessive. Since you said it's a used hitch and needed lubrication make sure it's greased well. Also, you may need a Lube Plate # HT34914.
You also want to make sure the king pin is fully seated into the hitch. When you're hooking up your trailer make sure the hitch is pointed down and the trailer pin box skid plate is slightly lower than the hitch's skid plate. When it's hitched the jaws should be fully...view full answer...

When installing your new B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 the only lubrication required is a light application of standard automotive chassis grease like # L11316 on the hitch jaws and the top surface of the hitch head; alternatively you can use a lube plate like # HT34914 on the king pin instead of grease on the hitch head.
After about 6 months of use you will want to grease the saddle through the grease zerk fitting.

The skid plate on your B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3300 should have been lubed prior to hitching the trailer per the owner's manual for the unit which is attached for you. The worn powder coat is not a huge deal but there may be some accumulation of rust so you would want to spray some paint over the exposed metal and keep a fair amount of grease on it. I also recommend using a lube plate part # HT34914 as this should prevent any more material from wearing away.view full answer...

If you have standard rails installed for your 20K Reese fifth wheel hitch on your 2012 Ford F-350 with the 8 ft bed, you can attach the 26,000 lb hitch like the Husky Silver Series 5th Wheel Hitch, part # HT31318-31325. You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the towing weight capacity for your truck.
I spoke with my contact at Reese and they told me that their bed rails are limited to 22,000 lbs. It would not be necessary to...view full answer...
